Domaine Berthoumieu
Domaine Berthoumieu sits in Madiran, the Pyrenean corner of South West France where Tannat thrives in cool, demanding terrain. The winery's flagship, Vitis MCM Madiran, showcases the grape's dark structure and aging potential—a wine that has drawn attention from Decanter, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Advocate. Alongside pure Tannat expressions, Domaine Berthoumieu works with the white varieties of the region: Petit Manseng and Petit Courbu appear in Symphonie d'Automne Pacherenc du Vic Bilh, a blend that captures the aromatic and mineral character of the appellation's hillside vineyards. The winery's Tannat Sans Soufre reflects a commitment to minimal intervention winemaking. These wines anchor a portfolio rooted in the volcanic and clay soils of Madiran, where the continental climate and altitude shape wines of precision and depth.
